Back Into The Well

Chapter Six:
Night Rain
Disclaimer: I wish I could say that I owned our favorite hanyou…then I could pay my way through college. But I don't own him or any of the other characters associated with the anime so I guess I'm stuck with that bill. Yay…
A/– Hey guys…laugh dies off I know it's been awhile…Please…just put down all the heavy objects you are tempted to throw at me. Even though I deserve it…I hope this next chappie makes up for it! BTW I don't own the song either. It's by Breaking Benjamin, a totally kick a band. I think it fits well into this chappie cuz…oh…I've said too much already.
Inuyasha: Took ya long enough, wench.
I know…smacks self on hand I'm trying to get with it.
Inuyasha: Feh…what ever. Just get busy with the story; I'm dying to know what happens.
Oh Inuyasha! I knew you had feelings for Kagome.
Inuyasha: That wench! Hell no. I'm just curious about this new enemy. I want you to get to the part where I kick his a.
Inuyasha! Watch your language. You're lucky I edited it out. There might be kids reading this.
Inuyasha: So?
Never mind. Just watch it or I might change my plot up a little bit. By the way, I thought you might want to know this. Shippo was in the other room when you said a few unmentionable words about Kagome. I heard him pitter-patter off a few minutes ago.
Kagome: INUYASHA!
I'm not sure whether it's just me…but she sounds angry. (Loud thump in background)
Chapter Six:
Night Rain
Take a photograph
It'll be the last
Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here
I don't have a past
I just have a chance
Not a family or honest plea remains to say
Rain, rain go away
Come again another day
All the world is waiting for the sun
Is it you I want
Or just the notion of
A heart to wrap around
So I can find my way around
Safe to say from here
We're getting closer now
We are never sad cause we aren't allowed to be
Rain rain go away
Come again another day
All the world is waiting for the sun
To lie here under you is all that I could ever do
To lie here under you is all
To lie here under you is all that I could ever do
To lie here under you is all…
Rain rain go away
Come again another day
All the world is waiting for the sun
Rain
Kagome was wrong. She couldn't explain what had happened. But she knew the explanation that Inuyasha would be after. It had seemed so easy earlier but now she couldn't even make an audible sound. All those years ago when she had thought about what to say to Inuyasha if she ever saw him again had completely left her. She could feel a tear running down her cheek as she looked at her daughter and then her former lover.
Amaya sat up and saw her mom crying yet again but now she finally…well…almost understood why. Inuyasha's stern gaze never left Kagome for a moment until impatience got the better of him. He walked over to her and grabbed her by her arms, shaking her fiercely.
"Tell me now Kagome. Explain to me what this is all about." Inuyasha commanded.
Kagome shook her head weakly, tears starting to flow more freely now.
Miroku tried to calm Inuyasha down by gently grasping his shoulder, "Inuyasha, I don't think this is the best way to go about it."
Inuyasha shrugged away from the monk, "No, Kagome needs to tell me everything. And she needs to tell me everything now."
He never took his eyes off of her. Kagome still did not speak so Inuyasha angrily pulled her into his arms and took off outside so that they might talk alone.
Inuyasha had brought her to the edge of the forest and had sat her against the trunk of a huge old tree. Tears continued to pour out of Kagome's eyes as Inuyasha smoothed her hair and tried to wipe tears away. He sighed, sat down next to her, and took her into his arms. Kagome clenched at his haori and cried openly while Inuyasha stroked her hair. She had always hated crying in front of Inuyasha but it could not be helped at the moment. All of the pain and sorrow accumulated over the years was all coming out at once. Even though Inuyasha wasn't the type to handle emotional outbursts very well he didn't seem to have any trouble comforting Kagome.
"Kagome, please tell me. Why did you leave?" He asked in a soothing tone.
She sniffled and pulled herself out of Inuyasha's warm embrace. "I was hurt and confused."
"That makes no sense Kagome. I did nothing to hurt you and you still do not believe me. I'm the one who should be hurt." He said.
Kagome let out a small laugh, "I thought you were done chasing me?"
Inuyasha sighed and lifted Kagome's chin up, "Well, if it makes you feel any better, after this I am. But I am giving you this one last chance."
"Ha! A last chance. Funny how the circumstances have turned around. Last I remember it was I who was giving you one last chance."
"Yea. But I wasn't going to let that one slip away like I did all the others."
"It just seemed so real. Just like all the other times and I was young and..." Kagome trailed off. She moved her chin from Inuyasha's grasp so that she wouldn't have to face him.
"Kagome, quit it and forget that all that happened. None of it was real and somehow I will prove it to you, but for now just tell me what's up with your kid," Inuyasha demanded.
Kagome turned away but Inuyasha grabbed her arms and turned her back around and held her. "Just tell me," he said softly.
Tears welled up in her eyes but they didn't flow. She turned her head, the only way she could get out of looking at Inuyasha but he let go of one of her arms and gently turned it back so that she was looking into his eyes. The golden orbs flickered with unnatural emotions, concern and sorrow.
"Amaya, just the name should tell you everything you need to know," she told him.
He let go of her and quietly pondered the statement before looking back at her in confusion. "That doesn't...it can't...it's not..."
Kagome looked up at him, this time without tears. "Well, believe it or not it is true or else those events would never have taken place. I couldn't come back because of it. I didn't want to endanger her or you. I did what I did because I had to."
"Even getting together with that Hobo guy," Inuyasha scoffed.
"After all these years you are still as jealous as ever. But I only did that so I wouldn't ruin my family's name and so she wouldn't go hungry. I didn't want people to know that I had gone out and gotten myself pregnant before being married. So...with Hojo being compliant, we married and that's how it's been ever since. Well other than the fact that with him around I was able to finish school and go to college and finally accomplish something in my life."
"You know Kagome," Inuyasha's words were hard yet soft, "together we could have accomplished something just as great."
"Oh and what's that? Completing the sacred jewel so you could be a full-fledged demon! How is that an accomplishment? Maybe for you but it's not what I wanted." Kagome was shocked at his words.She stood up and started walking away, leaving him to himself.
Inuyasha stood up as well but he didn't chase after her. "I told you I was finished chasing you. But just so you know that's not what I meant. The accomplishment I was talking about was a family. A happy family, something I knew you had wanted and something you knew I had wanted as well." He jumped off into the trees after he was finished speaking.
Kagome turned slowly, only to find once more that he had already disappeared. She bit her bottom lip to keep herself from crying. It seemed so hard to believe him but she longed for nothing more. 'What do I want anymore than just to be happy? I only seem to be ruining it for myself. Damn it Inuyasha, why does this have to be so hard? I just don't want to get hurt anymore...Maybe I should...no,' Kagome stopped herself from thinking about it any further. She walked back over to the tree where they had been and sat down.
Little did she know that she was being watched.
